    1. COhmm, you are going to have to give more info and possible show the table schema or what you are trying to do. There really isn't much to go off here. If you just want to learn how to do an UPDATE you can look at the postgres docs.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
